The N900, Nokia's new smartphone, was recently released in the US and is already causing problems, namely through a video posted via the Nokia blog. Said video shows Apps for the smartphone, which enable you to play classic Nintendo games with an emulator.
"There's already a bunch of great retro gaming emulator apps available for you to download" is one of the video's captions, while Super Mario World is being played on the N900. The author's description adds that some emulators require additional ROMs to be downloadad, which "most publishers allow, provided that the user is in possession of the original title."
According to Nintendo UK PR Manager Robert Saunders, Nintendo was unaware of Nokia's actions, but will investigate this topic, to see if copyright infringement has taken place.

Let’s discuss what made Super Mario World so good. This Nintendo classic is one of the best 2D games of its generation.
It was imaginative, great controls and fun. Definition of a great game. What else is there to say?
The end.
I love this game. Got the SNES bundle of Christmas of 1992 I think. I wanted the Genesis with Sonic 2 but this was just as good at the time. This was a huge jump from the nes Mario's and I didn't think it could get batter than Mario 3. The addition to Different Yoshi's added amazing gameplay.
It was magical. Coming from Super Mario 3, this game felt glorious with its graphics, colors and music. A masterpiece.
Jessica Mullane for SUPERJUMP: "a style of gameplay that is intentionally meant to be frustratingly difficult. Don't expect to master anything in a day or even a month"
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
i have an htc s740, same kinda slide out keyboard. been playing nes and snes games like that for about a year now. its awesome
This isn't anything new, though I doubt they should be selling the app in the official app store, third party or not. My phone has an NES emulator too, but it's not like it came shipped with it.
Emulators are not illegal...
>_>...
My toaster has a Nintendo emulator.
